Summary/Abstract: As might have been expected, most new building trends set in Romanian architecture in the Stalinist period are to be accounted for by the influence of ideology and politics. But the Stalinist period is also one of experiments in the construction and design of apartment building. If the quality of such experimental buildings appears to be in utter contradiction with the parsimonious spirit of the epoch, this is certainly due to the ability of the “old” generation of architects to adjust to certain formal ideological frames.
